- In today's video, I will review this special set of Van Gogh watercolour paints, which come in a bright orange box and is the Van Gogh Museum Edition. There are twelve half pans of paint in this pocket box (an ideal size for travel), and there's also a mini travel brush inside. What are the colors like? Let's find out!

Chinese white is a mixing white and not meant for highlights, so it makes sense that it frustrates you when trying to use it that way. Lindsay Weirich has a video on the use of white watercolor where she explains the pros and cons. The rabbit turned out very nice!
I think it's just one of those things I'll never be fond of, but I do use a lot of white with acrylics and oil paints. Even then I like Titanium White the best. 😊
Van Gogh paints are so good , i keep coming back to my old travel palette . it's so good people are not able to tell the difference between my painting made with van gogh from the ones made with Daniel Smith or Windsor and Newton .
And they're just such a joy to paint with .
that Orange box is really good looking . thanks for sharing .
They really are great quality, and fun to paint with! 😊💜
I think you need to embrace the blooms! ❤
Not much choice with this paper! 🤣
Commenting before I finish the vid- this is one of the few sets I’ve had my eye on (truly I don’t need any more paints lol)
I really like it! A little different to a standard set of colours.
The picture of the hare or rabbit that you used has been in my reference folder for a while and i have not done anything with it yet. You definitely did it justice.
Thank you! It’s a great photo; I love the yellow background. 😊
Hi Becky, pretty paints pretty pictures. I like making pastel colors with white. That hookers green made me think of Christmas trees 🌲. You did a great job painting. I don't have a favorite as i like all three critters. I too am curious as to what flower the froggy was sitting in. I liked rabbit a tad more than the mouse. But all three were great!
Thank you! I'm not sure of the flower....something tropical for sure! 🐸
Love Saturday mornings, start my day watching your videos. Great paintings. Thank you.
I'm glad you're enjoying my videos...thank you! 😊
Very lovely paints and the colours are gorgeous! I did notice that the end of the brush is perfectly made for all the little gaps to get the paint pans out and even the mixing part has a gap, might come in handy to be able to clean it :) I think the cute little mouse was my fave, and I think that's a bunny and not a hare, the ears look to small for a hare but I'm no expert lol great video once again thank you! :D
I want to say it's a rabbit as well, but I've been wrong before, lol. I never remember that the brush end is a lever! I have two other sets and someone mentioned it then but I totally forgot once more, doh! 😂
Thanks for your review Becky. Always appreciate your videos. Fun paintings
Thank you 😊
So lovely! I especially like how the Payne's gray and Hooker green made the dark green of the frog.
They mixed well together! 😊
The white is a mixing white, useless for details but great for lightening down the rest of the colours, as you found with the Payne’s grey.
Thankfully it's opaque enough for decent mixing. The resulting grey was perfect. 😊
Love Van Gogh! Take the included brush and use the cap end to remove the mixing tray by putting cap in the hole in the mixing palette, and you will have another mixing tray underneath. The cap tool can help you remove paint pans also.🙂
Thank you - I always forget these things on camera, lol!
@@BeckyTregear I just learned the hard way lol
Great work. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
This comment is not important, but I just wanted to say, that if it was me... I would have designed a box regarding Van Gogh in YELLOW.... that was like his "trademark" color!
That seems logical! Blue and Yellow! I guess the Museum's logo colour is orange, for reasons of their own, lol. I wonder why orange - anyone know?
He painted more than sunflowers..
@@BeckyTregear…. orange is the National colour of Holland?
Yes Orange is THE colour of the Netherlands. Comes from the House of Orange. And of course Van Gogh was Dutch, makes perfect sense. 😃
@@coffeeteapaper Great explanation, thank you! 😊
Thanks for the demo of this palette. Lovely colors and the paintings highlight them well.
Thank you, it's a very nice palette of colours. 🙂
Despite the paper working against you lovely paintings!
Thank you! I think once I've finished this sketchbook, I'll be shopping around for a different paper, lol.
Lovely colours❤
Some bright colors! How fun that you did three paintings. I really enjoy my VanGogh paints.
They have some really great colours! I need to use all three sets together now I think.
Thank you so much for the review. I have recently started using VG watercolors and I have been pleased!
Becky, I absolutely adore that hare! You’ve reminded me how much I love tge VG paints - I agree there’s just something about them. You also reminded me that I have that set: I think I’ll swap out an ultramarine blue for that white and take it with me on an upcoming trip. Great video as always! Thank you!
I think Ultramarine would be super useful in this set, especially when travelling. Good call!
Your hare turned out beautifully! I found them so hard to do. My one looks creepy because I couldn't figure out how to do the eyes, so I didn't do them, well, except for the shape of where the eyes are in the watercolour, but it's very very surrealistic. Still, I like that it's creepy lol. I'll have to watch this again and learn. Thanks Becky 😊
Thank you! Haha it's easy to make their eyes look creepy; I've done that before when painting them...and other animals too! 😂
Lovely demo, Thanks! I ❤ Van Gogh paints, very good quality and good orice too. I would ditch the white and add an ultramarine blue. I live the rabbit/hare, even with the dramatic background. It shows off the colours beautifully ❤. Zinc white is better for mixing pastel colous. You are right in nit exoecting it to be transparent. I bet you can get some decent pastels out of those colours by mixing them with that white. For highlights, I have recently been using Pilot Milky pens in white, which are very opaque and good to use on the go. Unlike Poscas, they are water based, and can be painted iver if needed. BTW the brush has a thinner end which can be used to lift the white mixing palette, so you have more mixing space. Great video, thanks Becky!
Thank you! I'd also add ultramarine which I'd find a lot more useful than the white. I'll have to look out for the Pilot pens....😊
Very cute little set, sadly I already have these colors so I can't justify getting the orange box set. Though I can vouch that the colors work well together in fun ways. I'd have added at least an ultramarine or something to the range if it were me instead of the white if I was being particularly picky. I have the 48 color set that I swapped out the cerulean hue with their Rembrandt Cerulean, and the Cobalt Blue hue with actual Cobalt Blue. Then I added a Rembrandt Cadmium Red just to round things out better and I'm much happier with the big box of colors. At least it's all made by the same company if nothing else. I'll have to try the colors from the orange palette just as a range on their own sometime!
That's a good idea, combining Rembrandts with the Van Gogh paints. Then you can pick the best colours from both ranges! 😊
this is stunning, the colours are incredible ❤❤
Yes, it's a really pretty palette of colours!
I’m not surprised you were frustrated with the white water colour, that one can’t do what you were trying to make it do with highlights.
But I’m really pleased you liked the rest of the paints, they are underrated.
As a choice of colours in a museum set I thought they did a good job of giving something us different to make us think, but still useful. Would be interesting to see you try and rework a Vincent sketch using those colours.
I don't think I'll ever be a fan of the white, but otherwise the palette is great! I once tried to paint Starry Night in oils and it turned out ok. I'd want to try painting it again with more experience now. I'm almost done putting the Lego version together! 😂
@@BeckyTregear I tried it in inktense and stained my fingers blue for a week.
Thanks so much for your review! I recently reviewed my Van Gogh palette as well (52 half-pans 😃 ) and I have to agree with you, these colors are so pigmented and vibrant considering they are student grade.
A 52 pan palette sounds great - they are very nice paints all 'round really! Maybe not so much for granulation, but otherwise there's a lot that can be done with them. 😊
Lovely paintings! The full spread is very pretty!!
I’ve been curious how you were making out with the new sketchbook. I’m happy to have the knowledge of your experience (and others) regarding how it handles wet-on-wet. That specific book is SO expensive here in Canada, I don’t want to spend that kind of money on something I can’t use for wet on wet. So, I’m VERY happy to have that information, it saves me money and grief. I feel bad that you’ve had two frustrating large sketchbooks in a row 😢.
Thank you! ❤ Haha I can't catch a break on the big sketchbooks lately! 😂 I like the Hahnemuhle paper for its smoother surface when compared with Etchr, but yeah those heavy washes just aren't working as well as I'd like...or at all really. I like using watercolour pencils in the book more than paints. Ah well, I'll finish it eventually I guess. Or I'll have enough and chuck a tantrum, then find a new book to start. Both options seem viable at this point, lol!
Hey Becky i saw you at P2P craft event but was in a class and couldnt come and have a chat 😪 i loved seeing your process of the colour ordering and omg that bunny is SOOOO CUTE!!!!! 🥰😍 I love the "crazy" background
Oh I'm sorry I didn't see you! I was probably in Shopping Mode and had tunnel vision for the pretty papers 😂 I hope you had fun! And thank you. 😊
That Indian Yellow is really pretty. I've had my eye on an acrylic IY for a few weeks and you have convinced me. I love that Hooker green too, although I'm good on green I think. Indigo is alway one of my favourites. I think the set colours are all beautiful together for a small set 🙂
I love a good Indian Yellow; it's such a warm and bright colour. Always worth having that in a set! I really like this colour palette too - still considering moving my spare pan of buff titanium in though, to replace the white, heheh.
@@BeckyTregear it's kind of ironic that in any other form of paint, the whites are the ones you can't get enough of, yet with watercolor they're only good for mixing.
I have the 12+3 Van Gogh "pocket" set. Tbh I didn't like it at first. To me, it lacks character, has zero granulation, does not flow well, and is a little chalky. Compared to the Cotman, I actually like the latter better. I'm tempted to get the Sennelier La Petite just so I can compare the trios of student grade paint.
I like the Van Goghs more than Cotmans but there is definitely lack of granulation etc. I haven't tried La Petite but I have the full set of professional Sennelier paints and they're so wonderful, I love them a lot!
Looks like a nice travel or beginner pallet
Yes, it's a very convenient size! Could do with a bluer blue though, like ultramarine.
Lovely paintings!! I think it’s a great idea to have a spread like this that includes swatches and actual artwork 😊 I love my Van Gogh paints, especially the Naples Yellow Red. Such great quality and price! I would love to see a comparison with the Rembrandt line. Which Hahnemühle sketchbook is this?
Thank you, and yes I really should compare the two with each other. The Hahnemuhle book is expensive one with 100% cotton, but it sure ain’t behaving like I’d expect it to! 😭
I painted a mouse for my niece for her birthday a few years ago. It was cute, but the pink I used for the paws made it look like it had just killed someone…I went with it and called it a murder mouse, happy birthday….so anytime I see someone paint a mouse it makes me laugh (at myself)…
Haha! It is very easy to make their paws look too pink; I've done that before too. Even on the Halloween box the mouse's paws were a creepy shade of pink, lol!
Hi Becky! Great review :-) some of those colors are very reminiscent of the van Gogh muted palette… The Naples yellow, the turquoise, the indigo, and the yellow ocher, Are all in that pallet as well. However I’m very intrigued by the permanent lemon and the orange, and red… Those are pigments I have not seen them used before. i’m wondering if they’re Indian yellow is the same PY 83, because I thought the one in the muted palette was a two pigment mix… I’m interested now to know if these colors and their pigments are different in this set.… Lord knows I don’t need another watercolor palette lol
I'm just trying to remember if one of the other palettes I found is the muted one....lol I have too many palettes as well and I forget! 😂 Hopefully they have a webpage with all of their colours listed, and the pigments etc. Clearly I have done no research on this, haha.
PS. Perhaps you can mix white with Yellow Ochre PY42 and make a "faux Buff Titanium". I find Buff Titanium very useful to paint beaches, buildings, some animals and stones. Perhaps this mix can make the white more useful? Thanks again, Becky.
Thank you for the suggestion! 😊
Sidewalks, lavender, peach, sand, real neutral grey, skin tones, etc.
Very cool! The colours are gorgeous! Love the built in pallet 😊 Is the white there as a mixer?
Yeah it's a mixer; I just don't use it as a rule, though I use tons of white with acrylics and oils, lol!
van gogh picked a nice palette ;] with lots of white, so it would be weird to not include it in the set, tbh.
Fair point! White is essential for an oil paint palette.
Yes, but he painted in oils. You don't use white with watercolour.
"Van Gogh" is just the name of the company.
I tried the Hahnemule 100%cotton book and I found it is really hard to lift. Too bad as cotton hard bound books are harder to find..
That's so true! I'll have to start looking for a new cotton alternative before I finish this book, so there's time to find a sale. They're so expensive!
Strange that you got Chinese White in this box as Opaque White is listed in Talens website. I have watched an older review and that person got PW6. It seems someone made a mistake at the factory…
Interesting! I bought my set this year in Greece but who knows how long the shop had it so I couldn't say if mine is an older or more updated version. Maybe they ran out of one of the whites?
@@BeckyTregear or maybe it got swapped out in the shop…
What is wrong with "Hooker's green", that's what it's called, right? From the botanical artist named William Hooker and it's "his" green so 's is correct, isn't it?
However, that little mouse looks like it's "up to no good" 😃Both animals turned out so cute 😍Thank you for the review 🥰
It's usually Hooker's Green, and this pan was labelled Hooker Green. Silly things like that always bug me! 😂 The mouse photo really caught my eye when I was scrolling for inspiration. Rodents are so cute!
@@BeckyTregear Ah, now I understand, thanks for the clarification. I'm bugged by people writing waste when they mean waist, and "of course" the they're/there thing. Unfortunately I tend to write, lets say interesting grammar when I'm tired. Only to see what I wrote later and think I must have been momentarily dumb as a rock 🤣
First!
Fourth - unusually for me, as I try to watch my 'watch later' list from those I added earliest forward. 😄 That 'Watch later' list gets quite long at the moment, as I watch two half hour French programmes, Monday - Friday (I need the practice, and I enjoy them!!!)
Hey, brothers and sisters in art! Hello to the first, second, third, fourth and all of you wonderful creative people, around the world. A warm hug to all from sunny California 😊
@@pastelsgirl😄🤗
@@MrsBarnabas hi MrsB 👋🏼. French, fancy!
@@awatercolourist Hi, aw! Yup - French programmes are essential language practice for an English lass
living in France! 😄
The paints are wrapped like bubble gum. Don't eat it! Wasn't able to really get into watercolour, need some decent brushes.
The colours are delicious to look at. 😁 Good brushes are definitely important.
